I bought a new movie at Glad Day called "You Are Not Alone". It is a Danish film from 1978. I had heard about it but never seen it. Well, it is amazing! It is now one of my favourite movies of all time. I have watched it 5 times this week and I want to see it again.
Now, here's the unique thing about it. It is about a love affair between a 12 year old boy and a 15 year old boy at boarding school. It may sound creepy but it is the most romantic, sweet, lovely film I have ever seen.
People always get creeped out by child sexuality. But, hey, it does exist. I had 2 girlfriends between the ages of 11 and 13 and we used to neck in the basement. One of them was always showing me her tits and pussy and I wasn't really that interested. I was more scared than anything. (She was about the same age as me but she had gone through puberty and I had not. She was also about a foot taller than me.)
The film ends with a kiss between the two boys. In one of the scenes, the students are discussing politics in class. One of them says, "What about our rights? Aren't we 'the people", too?" And this boy has a point. Children don't really have any rights which is one of the reasons I hated being a child. Adults were always telling me what to do and what not to do.
The film is not child pornography. The 12 year old has a horrible father who has no time for him. The 15 year old boy treats him so well and really loves him. And it is the 12 year old who pursues the older boy, most of the time.
I urge you to see this film and would love to hear what people have to say about it. I want to add that I am not a creepy pervert and have no interest in having sex with children. But I love this film. The acting is excellent and it is beautifully shot and directed.
